Description
Point-Of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) or Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma/Triage (FAST) have become essential imaging techniques in the triage of emergency patients.

These low-stress and simple to learn techniques can be performed with even the most basic equipment and can save lives. This highly practical one-day course will cover scanning of the abdomen and the thorax and will teach you how to help diagnose (and treat) various conditions such as haemoabdomens and pleural effusions.

Topics to be covered include:
- Basics of ultrasonography and the ultrasound machine
- How to identify abdominal organs
- Abdominal fluid assessment and pathology
- Thoracic ultrasonography for pleural space diseases
- Thoracic ultrasonography for pulmonary diseases
Financial incentive given to delegates following the course who attend with a suitable dog(s).

Thoroughly enjoyed it, definitely learnt a lot and will be taking some potentially lifesaving information back to my practice.

I really enjoyed todays course. Ultrasounds are something I've never been able to get my head around but I can confidently say I am 100 times better now. It's been great. Tom is a good teacher. Thank you.

Very informative, hands on course allowing to gain knowledge and experience in skills not so often used at veterinary practices.
